13:58 – Rock Legend

This doesn’t look a strong novice event and ROCK LEGEND will be hard to beat on his first outing since a wind operation. Limerick Leader looks his main danger.

DAWN RAIDER had plenty left in the tank when a ready scorer at Leicester at the start of the month and an 11 lb rise shouldn’t prove enough to stop him completing a quick hat-trick. In-form duo Barden Bella and Broomfields Kan look the two to chase home Gary Hanmer’s improver in that order.

15:10 – Voix Du Reve

In a tricky race VOIX DU REVE, who has been running well without winning recently, is taken to beat last year’s winner Theatre Legend.

15:43 – Raffertys Return

In a race likely to be run at a sound gallop the progressive RAFFERTY’S RETURN (nap) is taken to make a winning handicap debut by beating the useful Jetoile.

16:18 – Tamgho Borget

In a tricky race in which several have a chance if putting their best foot forward, the choice is the winning pointer TAMGHO BORGET who showed very little over hurdles but could prove a different proposition now going chasing in handicaps over this longer trip. Well Cliche and Chase The Wind are two others worth considering.

16:50 – Curramore

The first-time cheekpieces could be a boost for CURRAMORE, who was in good form when last seen in autumn and has a good record when fresh. Kajaki won nicely at Sedgefield last time and is second choice, although Theocrat and Kinondo Kwetu both have potential now upped in trip.

17:25 – Bray Dale

Ninetofive could prove the pick of those with rules experience but BRAY DALE won a point bumper in January and represents a stable with a 33% strike-rate in bumpers at this track. Hidalgo De L’Isle is another newcomer of note, while Wadmal may leave his debut effort well behind him.
